Dr Sonali Kagne, Deputy Consultant, Department of Endocrinology, Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, Mumbai told News9, “Excess abdominal fat, especially visceral fat, has been linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Visceral fat is the fat that surrounds internal organs in the abdominal cavity. It is metabolically active and can release substances that interfere with the body’s ability to regulate insulin, a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels.”
